Jurisdiction in Community Nursing Services

Bodil Ellefsen

Institute of Nursing Science, University of Oslo.

This articlefocuses on community-health nursing services and theirjurisdiction in Norway. The aim of the study was to analyze and gain a better understanding of community-nursing services' jurisdiction and jurisdictional pressure. The areas of investigation were degree of jurisdictional control, pattern ofpressure in the jurisdiction, and nurses' strategies to deal with this pressure. The respondents were nurses in public health nursing service, home nursing service, and nursing homes. The results showed that nurses in the three different community-nursing services had different degrees offormal and informal control in theirjurisdictions. Patterns ofpressure were visible both inside and outside of the jurisdiction. Jurisdictional pressure led to strategies that strengthened control of the work, fortified professional status, or both.
